“Alice is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be an art form. As a visitor to Philadelphia, the meal felt less like dinner and more like an invitation into a creative conversation between the kitchen, the ingredients, and the season itself.
What impressed me most was the restaurant's confidence. The menu is ambitious and inventive, yet never feels experimental for the sake of novelty. Each dish was thoughtful, balanced, and deeply satisfying, allowing exceptional ingredients to shine while still delivering moments of surprise. There is a clear point of view behind the food, but it is expressed with restraint and precision rather than excess.
In a city celebrated for its dining scene, it takes something special to stand out. Alice manages to do exactly that. Every course felt intentional, revealing a kitchen that is both imaginative and disciplined. There was always something unexpected to discover, which made the experience feel exciting from beginning to end.
The atmosphere complements the food perfectly—warm, welcoming, and intimate enough to encourage lingering over each course. It is rare to find a restaurant that feels both elevated and approachable, where serious culinary talent is matched by genuine hospitality.
Philadelphia is known for outstanding food, and Alice has distinguished itself as one of the most memorable and rewarding dining experiences I enjoyed during my visit. Long after returning home, I still find myself thinking about specific dishes, flavors, and moments from the evening—a testament to how thoughtfully every aspect of the experience is crafted.
For anyone visiting Philadelphia in search of a truly exceptional meal, Alice deserves a place at the very top of the list.“

“We came right before brunch ended on a Sunday and our server was incredibly kind, inviting, and met all of our expectations. On top of that, we loved everything we ordered. We’re not often in this neck of the woods but we will be back!! <3“

“I had a blast at Jaxx!! The food was so delicious and everyone who worked there had great energy!! Pregame was a lot of fun with great live music. Highly recommend Jaxx for friends and families needing a fun night or day out to eat and watch Philly’s sports!!“

“Great service, food and drinks. Dylan was our bartender and server. On point with everything, friendly and accommodating. We will be back!“

“Nice little spot, with nice energy. It can be a little tight inside, but given the shape of the building, it's to be expected. Though some people say the portions are small, I felt they were adequate and not dissimilar to say Bastia. I'm not a huge oyster person, but the recommendations were very good, especially paired with the zhug. Everyone we interacted with was lovely, but we were especially appreciative of Jordan, who gave us the majority of our recommendations.

We ate:
- psychedelicate
- stony shore
- bad boys
- broccolini caesar
- yellowtail pastrami
- crispy butterflied trout
- baby back ribs“

“Source Urban Brewery, Philadelphia, PA. I hate how much I enjoyed my visit to Source Urban Brewery. Why I wasn’t looking forward to this visit is a story for another time. The young women working this evening were awesomeness. I order the pretzel. It came with beer cheese. I told the young woman how much I loved beer cheese. She said it came with mustard and beer cheese but she could give me 2 beer cheeses. I said, ‘two beer cheese please.’ I have 3 beers each was better than the last. They all had a ton of flavor. They all tasted exactly as they were described. I think they are trying to be a higher end brewery. But, they have a big bar and you never what kind of crowd the Fillmore is going to bring in. Another young woman staffer told me she liked my shirt. If you follow me you know she won the shirt off my back—bonus video; 1. Win the shirt off my back shirt presentation. 2. Bathroom video.“

“Yes, but make sure they get your order right, visited today for the first time in a while. My order (Stromboli) wasn’t correct but was acceptable…wife got a club, dry turkey and unevenly made. Manager took $4 off my Stromboli. Service was ok, we left disappointed in the food but not hungry…will be a while before we go back for another visit.“

“My favorite local dive, and as such everything you'd expect. Surly bartenders, affordable drinks, good rotating beer selection, campy old movies, great jukebox, questionable bathrooms. But always consistent, open 365, and populated with the local characters. 🙃“

“Wasn’t sure what to expect but everything was amazing. Very clean and updated and great service!“

“First time there, went thanks to Diner Drives and Dines recommendations. The WIT was so good. Atmosphere and service was awesome.! Love the vibe there. We will be back!“

“Depending on how packed and who's tending bar, the wait time for a drink varies- gotta be patient. The frozen "Henny" (lmmfao) colda--.. that's not Henny.. that's whiskey, trust me, I have my certification. Long story. But TuuuuMmmmm... Other than that- it's definitely a great place to go and have a blast. The Brazilian fiery haired bartender is a must see. She's cool ? Great place to chill out and play pool, if it's not crowded. Highly recommend“

“The only reason I have one star on food was because when I got thAre the food wasn't open. I asked the staff and they made it sound like food guy was away for the weekend. I went across the street to grab a cheesesteak for dinner than came back..I had another great time thare watching the Phillies baseball game but when it became later In the night the food stand did open up. Please keep staff up to date on food stand service schedule.“

“Tina is the name of the woman behind the counter and she is awesome lol not only can u buy take out beer and food Togo (ny burgers are my go-to) in thr back u can be buzzed through to a bar like area with plasma tv screens and a jukebox this is the best ducky spot I've been to in years“

“Truly could not say enough great things about this bar. Came in with friends for a bachelor party and had a blast. Had so much fun that I left my phone and wasn’t able to retrieve it before my early departure the next day lol. The team (shoutout Michael for going above and beyond) got it back to me without a hitch. It’s rare to have somebody help out a bar guest like that especially one that is from out of town and I’m super grateful to say the least. This bar made a lasting impression in the best way possible. Love the skeeball and love the staff, will definitely be back when I’m back in town! Cheers!“

“Great food, great drinks, easy-going atmosphere. Perfect spot for dinner before a show.“

“Beer and pizza in a nice atmosphere at its best“

“This is a really nice place. It's a trendy youngish crowd. It has a large bar on the first floor and a pool table on the second floor. The music is awesome and the vibe is friendly and relaxed. A friend of mine recommended it last evening so we came over and loved it immediately. We returned again tonight. It's a great Bar in the Center City area. It's a perfect place to bring your date. It's safe and clean. I highly recommend this bar.“

“Went for lunch and had the Cubano, it was awesome. Great fries too! There were 12 in our party and everyone loved their food!! Make sure to check this place out.“

“Staff was so friendly and inviting and the food was delicious!! It was great to find a local pizza shop that has margherita pizza and it did not disappoint! The Jersey boardwalk fries were the perfect blend of crispy, salty, thick fries. We will definitely be going back!“

“Sweet 16 was amazing we would definitely recommend! 3 guards to make sure the kids were safe and the DJ let us use our own playlist. The waitress helped us with our every need, including cutting the cake for all of us and cleaning up.. the venue was beautiful.“

“I attended a recreational employee dinner hosted by my boss to lift morale. Most of us never heard of this bar/restaurant. I was intrigued since our company is a high end restaurant in Chestnut Hill. If the owner and former head chef picked it, it must be good, right? HELLZ YEAH!!!!!! The drinks were potent and yummy. The mac & cheese with brisket was sublime!!!!! The grand entrance of the 6ft (?) cheesesteak with fresh cut sweet potato waffle fries were spectacular. SPARKLERS!!!!! The garlic parmesan wings were super. The nachos were on point, light & crips, not stale or greasy. My ONLY disappointment which was shared with another friend at the party were the baby back ribs. We loved the sauce- just right, not too spicy/hot with tangy gooey yummyliciousness. However the ribs themselves were MOSTLY BONE. It was basically use licking the sauce and the few bits of meat off the top. It was hard to even find any separation to cut it to get the meat in between. I wish they offered SPARE RIBS which usually have more tender, juicy meat on the bone. Cause I LOOKED at the menu before ordering the baby backs. Hell, they coulda just put BBQ sauce on the brisket and I would have had a foodgasm. Maybe I'll do that next time on my own. That said, I will definitely go there again but I will never order the ribs. There are so many other perfect food offerings to keep me happy that I ain't mad, LOL. Also, the TVs provided viewer ankles for everyone regardless of where they sat. And the bar stools were COMFORTABLE too. Our waitress was attentive and professional but not aloof. The bartenders helped us out too with friendly responses. I apologize because I forget their names. After all, I was so snookered from the booze, I am happy that I still remembered to give this review. It's 3 days later and I am still thinking about the dinner. Give it a try! Many of us took SEPTA, its easy to get to from bus, subway, regional rail and cost less to PARK in Center City. That said, SEPTA getting ready to go on strike so...... don't care how you get to Tradesman, just TRY IT OUT!!!!!!!!!“
